In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with—or even looking at—a stranger is virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they fiddle with their phones, even without a【C1】________on a subway.
It’s a sad reality—our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings—because there’s【C2】________to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you. But you wouldn’t know it,【C3】________into your phone. This universal armor sends the【C4】________: "Please don’t approach me."
What is it that makes us feel we need to hide【C5】________our screens?
One answer is fear, according to Jon Wortmann, executive mental coach. We fear rejection, or that our innocent social advances will be【C6】________as "weird". We fear we’ll be【C7】________. We fear we’ll be disruptive.
Strangers are inherently【C8】________to us, so we are more likely to feel【C9】________when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances. To avoid this uneasiness, we【C10】________to our phones. "Phones become our security blanket," Wortmann says. "They are our happy glasses that protect us from what we perceive is going to be more【C11】________.
But once we rip off the band-aid, tuck our smartphones in our pockets and look up, it doesn’t 【C12】________so bad. In one 2011 experiment, behavioral scientists Nicholas Epley and Juliana Schroeder asked commuters to do the unthinkable: Start a【C13】________. They had Chicago train commuters talk to their fellow【C14】________. "When Dr. Epley and Ms. Schroeder asked other people in the same train station to 【C15】________how they would feel after talking to a stranger, the commuters thought their【C16】________would be more pleasant if they sat on their own," The New York Times summarizes. Though the participants didn’t expect a positive experience, after they【C17】________with the experiment, "not a single person reported having been embarrassed."
【C18】________, these commutes were reportedly more enjoyable compared with those without communication, which makes absolute sense,【C19】________human beings thrive off of social connections. It’s that【C20】________: Talking to strangers can make you feel connected.
【C6】
选项
A、misinterpreted
B、misapplied
C、misadjusted
D、mismatched
答案
A
解析
本题考查动词辨析并且以被动语态出现。本动词的主语信息为our innocent social advances(我们纯真的社会动机,即我们主动与陌生人交流的做法)。本动词填空之后的原文信息为as “weird”,weird是“奇怪的;不可思议的”的意思。很明显,本填空之前的信息是一个正面的概念,而本填空之后的原文信息完全是负面的。因此可以判断本题的答案应该是A项misinterpreted(曲解,误读),即“我们这种纯真之举被误读或者曲解为怪异”。其他选项例如B项misapplied(误用)、C项misadjusted(不当调整)和D项mismatched(错配)与填空前后文的信息无法构成有意义的搭配。
